Jesse Gimbel

Deconstructing and reimagining familiar themes, both lyrically and in composition, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jesse Gimbelproves that convention is only a restriction when it is left unexamined.

Sometimes a whisper, sometimes a hammer — but never out of place, Jesse blends narrative and musical elements into a tonic of rhythm and melody which reveal their truths to each listener in a personal way.

Drawing lines of similarity to Death Cab for Cutie, the Decemberists, Elliott Smith, Sonic Youth and Wye Oak, fans of a rich, real, relatable cinematic pop will quickly connect with Jesse’s music. Through his experience as a producer and engineer, Jesse is fully immersed in his craft, continually refining his deep knowledge in the tools of his trade.

Bringing his sound to life on the stage, Jesse is joined by Philadelphia-based performers Rich Cossentino (bass), Andy Williams (drums) and Bianca Cevoli (vocals/keys).
